Manually tested by printing to stderr in both branches (sp in os
stack, or not), and triggering a GC in a filterSource function,
e.g.:
let
generateTree = n: if n == 0 then "ha" else { left = generateTree (n - 1); right = generateTree (n - 1); };
in
builtins.deepSeq (generateTree 18) ...
Note that the darwin still uses the strategy of disabling GC, despite
having an implementation that compiles. The proper solution will be
enabled and tested later.
This makes it match the current pattern:
- `package.nix` assumes deps are right version
- Overlay in `flake.nix` creates `*-nix` package variations
- Overlay manually passes in those packages to `package.nix`
I've added the new local.mk to the package sources. While this
should not be needed for the build, it is the simplest solution,
and won't cause many extra rebuilds, because the file won't change
very often.
`nix-env -qaP`'s output has changed a bit because of https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/10132.
Although that's a bit annoying, it isn't nearly as problematic as the
evaluation changes that this test is supposed to catch. So it's find to
just update the hash for the time being and fix the issue later
(properly fixing the issue will very likely change the hash any way).
`NIX_HARDENING_ENABLE` causes `_FORTIFY_SOURCE` to be defined.
This isn't compatible with `-O0`, and the compiler will happily remind
us about it at every call, spamming the terminal with warnings and stack
traces.
We don't really care hardening in that case, so just disable it if we
pass `OPTIMIZE=0`.
Just `stdenv.isDarwin` isn't enough because it doesn't apply to the
build platform, which mean that cross packages building from darwin to
another platform will have `isDarwin` set to false.
Replace it by `stdenv.buildPlatform.isDarwin`.
We don't just want to pass `--enable-gc=no`; we also want to make sure
boehmgc is not a dependency. Creating a nix-level configuration option
to do both, and then using that for the CI job, is more robust.
Changes:
- CPP variable is now `USE_READLINE` not `READLINE`
- `configure.ac` supports with new CLI flag
- `package.nix` supports with new configuration option
- `flake.nix` CIs this (along with no markdown)
Remove old Ubuntu 16.04 stop-gap too, as that is now quite old.
Motivation:
- editline does not build for Windows, but readline *should*. (I am
still working on this in Nixpkgs at this time, however. So there will
be a follow-up Nix PR removing the windows-only skipping of the
readline library once I am done.)
- Per
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/nix/-/blob/master/debian/rules?ref_type=heads#L27
and #2551, Debian builds Nix with readline. Now we better support and
CI that build configuration.
This is picking up where #2551 left off, ensuring we test a few more
things not merely have CPP for them.

The thing we wanted to test was that building Nix without building or
running tests, and without depending on libraries only needed by tests,
works.
But since 6c8f4ef350, we can also install
unit tests, and during the conversion to using `package.nix` this
started happening more often (they go to a separate output though, so
this should be fine).
This adds more `... = false` to restore the original intent: don't run
unit test or functional tests, and don't install unit tests.
This was last upgraded in 788008385e, but
the version in Nixpkgs is a now a lot newer. I think the custom was
added to get ahead of Nixpkgs before, and so now that we are in fact
behind, it is no longer needed.
